Born in the USSR in 1970, Russian by both nationality and ethnicity, and as such, have my own opinion on everything.
People, just try to think different. Maybe it won't make you happier, but the world will be a much better place to live in, if populated by thinking people.

One Man, Two Attitudes

Here are just two videos for you to consider.

June 7, 2014, Kiev (Kyiv), Ukraine, the day of inauguration of Mr. Poroshenko as the elected president.

The local Ukrainian guard of honour had to stand for some hours at +32 centigrade, so one of the soldiers got a heatstroke, dropped his rifle and was close to falling unconsciously just when Poroshenko was indifferently passing by.

December 14, 2014, Poroshenko's official visit to Australia.

Quite another attitude, isn't it? I do not remember state leaders giving their bows to local guards of honour.

So who is Mr. Poroshenko?

In my humble opinion, it's more about serf-master (or, if you wish, puppet-master) relation than a proper behaviour of democratically elected president of an independent country, having a certain level of self-respect and respect to the people of his country.
